At the lsilwsy station he was greeted with cheers by the ft ople gathered therep and smilingly bowed >is acknowledgments. He will return to Loudon to-night. Mr. Gladstone received an ovation on hli arrival at Portsmouth. Hu made a few remarks, thanking the peo- ale for their cordial reeoption, and laying that hit future life was certain to bo very short.

This officially announced this afternoon tbnt Mr. Gladstone kissed the hand orHer Majesty on receiving her command. Both House and Parliament met to-day and adjourned until Thursday, pending the formation of a new Cabinet. The Press Association gives the following as the latest forecast of the new cabinet: By. Mr. Gladstone, first lord of the treasury snd chancellor of tho Exchequer; Sir Farres Herachell, lord high chadcollor; Sir Wm. Vernon Harconrt, home secretary; Earl Granville, lord president of councils; II. C. H. Childers, secretary for war., Tho remainder are liable to altera tion* but they will probably he as fallows: O.

Morley, chief secretary for Ireland. It la understood that the Queen objects to Morley becanae he is pledged to home rule. London, February 1.—Gladstone has drafted a cabinet, bqt several of the gentle men he has named are not satisfied with the position* assigned them, and it is there fore probable that modifications will be made, delaying publication of the official list. London, February 2. -According to the forecast of tho new ministry by the Daily News, varying somewhat with other specula tions, Trevelyan will be president of the local government board; Jlimdella, president of tho board of trade; Earl Kimberly, foreign secretary; Earl Roseterry, colonial secre tary; Earl Spencer, Indian secretary, and Visconnt Ilamdt-n, lord of the privy sea). The Newt explains the Queen's delay in summoning; Gladstone, by the fact that Lord Salisbury was instracted to make such an arrangement with Gladstone as, U he had succeeded, would have precluded the neoessity of the queen enmmonning Gladstone, but tbnt Lord Salisbury was unable to make a satisfactory arrangement.

These tracks ere from five to six feet apart, and are deeply Imprinted, which shows that the person who made them was running. There are two Bets of these tracks, leading in different directions, but both about as described, except one sot seems to be the track of a wtfeuan.

MaaiXTTA, GJahnary 27.—Nothing search of one of the great duck-hatobing es tablishments, when multitudinous eggs are artificially hutched. The first we oaoie to was closed, but the boatmen told ua anoth er further on, so we landed and walked along narrow ridges between large flooded fields in which the lotus and water-chest nuts aru_grown for the sake of their edible ruuia. Built mu itlc-u when - coked, but tho collection of these in this deep mud must be truly detestable for the poor women en gaged in it. Pissing I y tho amazing heaps of old egg-shells (for which even the Chi nese seem to have as yet found no usu) we reach the hatching honse, in which many thousands of eggs are being gradually warmed in great baskets filled np with heated chaff, and placed on shelves of very open basket work, which are arranged in tiers all around the walls, while on the ground aro placed earthenware stoves full of burning charcoal, nere ths eggs aro kept for a whole day and night, the position of the basket with reference to the stoves being oontinnally changed by attendants, who reserve their apparel for use in s cooler atmosphere. After this preliminary heat ing the eggs are removed to other baskets in another heated room, to whi h they ate dextrouaiy carried in cloths, cooh contain ing about fifty eggs. No one but a neat- handed Chinaman could carry such a bur- don «ithont a breakage. Hero the eggs re main for about a fortnight-, each egg being frequently moved from place to place to equalize the share of heating. After this they are taken to a third room, where they are spread over wide shelves snd covered with sheets of thick, warm cotton; at the end of another fortnight hundreds of lit is ducklings simultaneously break their shells, and by evening, perhaps, a couple of thou sand fluffy little Doautlcs ore launched into life,and are forthwith fed with rioe water. Duck farmers (who know precisely when each great hatching is due) aro in attend ance to buy so many hundred of these pret ty infants. Which they carry oft to their re spective farms, where thero are already an immense number of ducks and geete of dif ferent ages, aU in separate lots. The geese, by the way, are not hatched artificially, °wmg to the thickness of their shells, con- soquoutly they are not so very numerous a* ducks. Still, flocks numbering 600 or 800 are reared, and are provider! with wattle shelves on which torooet, aa damp ground ia injurious to the yonng bird*. A very lurge goose market ia held evenr mornim.

Philadelphia Cotton Firm to Kerect Large Mill In Angustn, Ga. Philadelphia Hecord. F. H. Coatee A Co., of this city, are about to erect a cotton-spinning factory in Au gusta, Ga., with a capacity of 10,(IUU spin dles, which will be completed this winter. This is practically a removal of a portion of the firm's enterprise from this city, whioh has been determined upon because of tho cheapness of labor and of motive rawer in the Southern city. A member of he firm said yesterday that it waa no indi cation of a general movement of industrial enterprise Sonth, because thero were spe cial reasons in this particular case. The very low wages paid in the South is, he ■aid, however, a matter of considerable im portance. In the South u day's work means twelve hours, and the labor on a “cat’’ of forty picks eoato there shout 13 ccnU, as against 50 cenU in this city. He did not think thut capital waa particu larly seeking investment in manufacturing intereato in the Sonth now, and as a matter of fact more mills were being started in New England than anywhere else in pro portion. There is 10 per cent more capital being invested in cotton and woolen mill* in the New England States than in any other section of the country. None bat white labor is employed in the mills in the Sonth, but the operatives are very frugal— living in many instances on corameal cakes and oil—and they work for surprisingly low wages. Thera ia little, if any, sdvantage in being nearer the raw material, becanae the manufacturer is thereby further from the market for his goods. The only advantages which the South poaseaaea are the cheap- of labor and the fact that strikes are not as yet in vogue tbery. ROBBING HIS OWN SAFE. Move Dealer Dodge Confessing that lie was the Uurglar Who Rained Him. A Boston special can Edward L. Dodge, a dealer in stoves, kitchen ware, etc., et Friend and Union • treats, reported to the police Wednesday that hi* safe had been robbed of 122,703. The affair bad a aus picious look, and lata Wednesday night Dodge, pressed by Captain Wilki.ts, con fessed that he had robbed hie own safe. He confessed regret for whet he had done, bnt laid it all to stock gambling. His reason for undertaking this deception, it is alleged, was to gain time in the payment of a note given for stocks, which waa about to-fall doe and which placed him iu a distresstd financial position. As tho money had not been stolen—for he had taken it bimeeU— the police could make no cnaunal charge against him, so he was allowed to depart- The officers think that bis disgrace will ba pnnlahment enough. An English Reformatorr 8lilp Seized by Rebellions Lads. Liverpool, February 1.—A mutiny oo- eurred to-day among the hula on the refor matory ship Clarence, which is lying in the Metsoy. £t a preconcerted signal the !«*!• in a body attacked the officers with belay ing pins, firearms and other weapons. The officers drew their revolvers and fired into the mutinous crowd, and tried in vain to fores them to lay down their weapon* and return to their places. The boys continued their insult and at last compelled the offi cers to seek shelter. The lads then low ered the boats, into which they cr - wiled, and tho boata drifted down stream with the tide. The Glareneo's officers, after tho de parture of the boys, made signals to the au thorities ashore, and soon several boat* filled with police put out and called upon tho boys to surrender. The young sters, deeming resistance useless, gave np and were taken back to the ship. The ringleaders were placed in irons Eighteen lads and two officers received wounds in the fight Two yean ago the lads confined on the Clarence set fire to tho ship. An investigation shows that the mutiny arose out of a religions dispute over certain role* of the ship, as all the mutineer* were Catholics. The out break had been planned for several days. The wounded have all been removed to a hospital. Thirteen of the lads have been placed under arrest An Irish Programme. Dublin, February 1.—The Freeman's Journal states that it has reason to beliov* that Jlr.

Rev. Dr. J. G. Armstrong, of Atlanta, Ga., is now under trial by an ecclesiastical court for conduct unbecoming a minister of the gospel, and llev. George It. Bristor, D. D., baa just been indicted by tho grand jury of Rockland county, New York, for conduct not only unbecoming a clergyman, bnt in contravention of criminal law. Furthermore, it is announced that in the (ace el damning evidence Mr. Armstrong “is strongly supported by his coni tion," while it is notorious that the st which has just earned Dr. llristor a crimi nal m-lictment is the last of many such ac cusations, none of which has robbed him of his standing in the church. The Star docs not assnmo that either cler gyman is guilty of ths cliargo made against hint, but it is singular that minister* in the face of such accusations not only retain ad herents, but continue to fill churehee with listening congregations. It ia sometimes difficult for non-professional men to appre ciate the ethics of medical and legal prac tice, but it is almost impossible for a phy sician or a lawyer to transgress cer tain well defined line* without losing the respect of his brother physicians or lawyers. It is a notorious fact that the army and navy have for yean been prevent ed from purging themselves of disreputable officers only by the exercise of the Presi dent's r*visionary and pardoning power, It remains, however, for the elcrical pro fession to cloak the smirched reputations of it* members, and rally with blind zeal to the defense of every accused clergyman. Perhaps all thiati traceable to a broad exerriaa of that charity which is said to cover a multitude of sins, or perhaps to a conviction that clergymen must stand to gether against the aaaau ta of “worldlings." Whatever the motive, the policy is iU con sidered. The broadest charity does not re- a ttire the Church to hide within its bosom te foulness that threatens its health and life, and it i* not true that the great major ity of civilised men and women aro world lings in the sense of being opposed to the church in Re general aims for the improve ment of mankind.

He pnrehasee extra fuod, bnt it is paid for by feeding the skim milk to pigs end selling the pork. He soils hie cows as weU as pastaring them, snd keen them in warm quartan, thus imincing the flow of milk for eleven month* from each cow. Aiming, as he does, to keep tho leigest num ber on the smallest space with profit, he give* the Prairie Farmer bis method by which ten sores may be made to support twelve cows. If tho land is in good cultivation he eng- grata that the ten acres be divided into five two-acre lota, on* of which ebonld he feno- ed off for permanent building, yards and pasture. Two acres should I™ devoted, one-half to German millet (semi with clo ver), end half to winter rye, for early loll ing from the 25th of May traitl the IMth of June. When tho crop of rye Is removed low millet, end eeed down to elover with a little timothy seed added. Thrse two acres to remain in meadow and for soiling two years, so that in the second year the land will become filled with elover roots, which make* an exceUent fertilizer for the huge sweet fodder-corn, two acrtx|of which wtil iroduce, if the work is properly dime, 62 one of Risen feed. Th* green feed should be run through a feed-cutter, whether green or dry. The two acres of eorn, with four acres of meadow cut twice, and two acre* of millet and rye, will be sufficient fodder forlS-Jeney grade cows. This alladea to the green food they wUl eat, with probably a surplus for winter. Aa green food alone la not enffleient ration, there shonld be given each cow, daily, 4 pounds of wheat middlings, in summer, and 4 pounds of bran, with 4 pounds of corn meal, in win ter, provided one-half of tho cows come in to milk from October to January, the com ing in of the other half being distributed through the balance of the year. Tho ‘ winter is the season when prices are ust ly highest, SoOd under the toilkg system, is, of coarse, more available in aummer. Regarding the manure, it should ba taken daily rrom the stables in the winter season and spread upon the land designed for corn, while during the summer it should be com posted and spread upon the meadows after the second cutting. In arranging the ten acres two acres aro aUoered for buUdingi and prominent pasture, two for German millet end winter rye, 2 for elover meadow (which should give two crop* in one year), two for fodder com, end the remaining two also to be in clover meadow. The a.iL.). ed weight of the green stuff grown will pro vide 58 pounds of green food daily for each cow for 365 day*, bat it will be necessary to purchase 13} tons of ground grain, which would require 10 acres for its production. It wiU be noticed that, although the method arranged for growing enough green food on ton acres for twelve cows may be put in practice, yet the fact that th* grain mast he purchased compels the use of twenty acres for twelve cows. But admitt ing each to be th* feet, it is not every far mer who makes twenty acres suppor twelve cows. The writer of the above, by keep- 100 cows on the product of 200 acres, has solved the problem of supporting a cow on two sens, which has often been dieroseetL and the plan reeommendad, coming from one who has been so succeed til, ia worthy of consideration.

The swaying of the branches deprives them of rest, and they become debultatad and feeble, being unable to afford a profit, as well as requiring a time in spring before beginning to Uy. The American Farmer says that the most economical ns* of stable manure ia itaarpU- ealton to a grass eod. It should be haul- ed directly from the stable it poeaibl*. When the root* of gras* are present in tho soil solulilo manures are retained, due to the action of the roots and the capillary attiau- tions of the soil.

A lady correspondent of the Rnr.il New \orker writes that thero is an evergreen blackberry grown near Paget Bond, Wifi i- ington Territory, with habits like the climb- ing rote, which produces aa much as 100 quarts of berries in a season.
